Rawley

When I first met Jared he was wearing a shirt that had this saying on it "The more people I meet the more I love my dog." We are big dog lovers and Rawley is not just our dog but one of our kids. She is 10 years old and we love her.

Bronx

Bronx is 5 years old. He loves playing guns, swords, bow and arrows with his friends. He has a love and hate relationship with his sister, but who doesn't. Can't wait to hear some of the things that comes out of his mouth. He is very funny.

Bentley

Bentley is 3 years old and giving Jared and I a run for our money. She runs the house and loves to play dress up and beat up her brother. She is our little grown up.

Bailyr

Bailyr is 3 months old. She is such a good baby. The kids eat her up. She is starting to smile and respond. Very fun stage.

This year for Halloween Bronx wanted to be another dragon. Last year his costume looked like the Dragon off Mulan. I showed him this new dragon costume from the movie "How to Train Your Dragon" and he said he wanted the red dragon. After the red dragon costume doesn't fit him anymore he decided that the other dragon costume would be fine. Bentley was the turtle this year. Bronx looked soo cute when he wore it and Bentley is no different. We did the annual pumpkin visit to Garth's house and then headed down to Salt Lake where Bronx went trick or treating with his cousins. Even though it was rainy it was still a good Halloween.

Bronx had another fieldtrip at school. This time the preschool class went to Black Island Farms. The trip was special because Nana Manning and Brooke got to come. Even though it was wet and a little rainy they enjoyed the pumpkin picking and going down the slides.

The last days of summer are here. The kids helped Nana prepare her garden for winter and they take advantage of the last warm days to play in the water. Trips to feed the ducks and playing in the park. Before we know it it will be summer again...

This was our one and only trip to Lagoon this summer. Last year we had season passes but failed to do a repeat. The kids have so much fun each time we go. We will definetly have to do passes next summer.

At Bronx's preschool they had a Halloween Parade. All the kids dressed up in their costumes and went for a short walk down the street. Bronx was a dragon from the movie How to Train Your Dragon. He didn't want to wear his mask. Miss Diana does a lot of cute things for the kids.

Say What?

We were on a long trip through Yellowstone and Bentley says she has to go potty. Nana made a joke that she can go in a cup and Bentley said that she can't go poop in that because her butt is fat. A little gross but soo funny!

Bronx said prayers last night. He is getting so good at them. He said thanks for the day and that he loved mom and dad. He knows that sometimes mom and dad get mad at him, dad was out of town and it was late, AMEN!

I immediately felt guilty of the shortcomings with patience I had that day. I love kids prayers.

Bronx: Mom I listen to Nana all the time and I only listen to you sometimes.

Mom: Why don't you listen to me?

Bronx: Because that's my 'thing'

Bronx and Bentley were playing with playdoh and afterwards didn't want to clean up. I told them that what they didn't clean up was going in the garbage. Bronx came upstairs to say he was done. He said that he didn't want to put the playdoh away so he threw it all away in the garbage. What do you do...

Dave was picking on Bronx on the way home from Vegas and Bronx turned around with the most serious look and said"Dave if you bug me one more time I am going be pissed."

Yep this one is mom's fault.

Mom: How was school today?

Bronx: I had a hard time.

Mom: What happened?

Bronx: I just played and learned.

Bronx: Mom look at my new pet

Mom: Wow! What is it's name?

Bronx: Monkey

Mom: That is what it is, what is it's name?

Bronx: Drixie

Mom: Hi Drixie, what are you and Bronx doing today?

Bronx: Mom you can't talk to it, it's an animal.

Bronx had a little accident in his underwear and I went to clean him up and he gave me a big hug and said, "Mom you are the best cleaner ever."
